Our Vision

“Our philosophy is to be able to provide the same unmatched military capability for the commercial subsea sector to be used in the most demanding specialist offshore clearance operations. The Royal Navy is recognised as having the very best underwater mine countermeasures capability in the world and central to this are the Royal Navy Clearance Divers who have proven themselves time and time again in operations and combat. EODEX and Alford Technologies bring these unique skill sets, techniques, specialist tools and equipment into the commercial arena delivering unmatched environmental safeguarding, improved safety and significant cost efficiencies.” 

Our modern process of deflagrating the explosive recognised as a specialist military technique, enables the explosive fill to gently “deflagrate” or ‘burn out’ rather than explode with a violent detonation. This action on the munition renders it safe enabling its metal casing to be subsequently recovered as scrap. Any remaining explosive is collected via our specialist collection system to be disposed of safely ashore.

The ability to deliver these low order deflagration techniques through our range of explosive tools allows us to deliver the next generation of UXO clearance capability that not only ensures increased levels of safety of the personnel and assets involved in the UXO clearance process, but importantly, it also minimises the impact on the marine environment. This methodology also brings with it significant cost efficiencies. In short, we are able to:

  • Significantly reduce environmental impact
  • Increase personnel and asset safety
  • Deliver significant cost efficiencies
EODEX are world leaders in delivering this specialist capability and through education and innovation, we are transforming the way companies are now able to undertake subsea projects requiring UXO clearance operations
